Already, the Trump administration score on TPS is 4 to 2. It will phase out TPS for Salvadorans (https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status/temporary-protected-status-designated-country-el-salvador), Haitians (http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/haiti/article196513449.html), Nicaraguans (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-protections/u-s-to-end-protected-status-for-nicaraguan-immigrants-in-2019-idUSKBN1D704X) and Sudanese (https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status/temporary-protected-status-designated-country-sudan), a group of more than 260,000.
But in January, the government extended TPS for refugees from Syria (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/31/syria-tps-extended-trump-administration), where a brutal war had killed about 400,000 and made refugees of about 5.6 million. The decision allows about 6,000 Syrians (https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/01/31/secretary-homeland-security-kirstjen-m-nielsen-announcement-temporary-protected)to remain in the U.S. It also extended TPS for a smaller group of South Sudanese (https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status/temporary-protected-status-designated-country-south-sudan), numbering about 100.
Still remaining are decisions on Honduras and three other countries: Nepal, Somalia and Yemen. A decision on about 9,000 Nepalese TPS holders, who live mostly in New York, is expected by April 25.
